Movie improvements on the book?! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Phew, someone else brought this up! I was sure everyone would hate me if I said Aragorn was a lot more interesting in the movies than he was in the books. Now, I understand why some people aren't too happy about the changes in his chracter. The biggest problem seems to be the fact that he is almost afraid of his inheritance. But come on, book-Aragorn isn't really a person at all, just an archtype of a good king. They just <I>had</I> to make him more human. And succeeded in that, in my opinion. (Now you can all shoot me. )
